The Shakespeare Garden

Written by a "devoted student of Shakespeare," this 1922 volume outlines how to make an organized and complete Shakespeare garden. Incorporating the flowers and plants mentioned in the works of William Shakespeare, these themed gardens were prominent in the United States' public parks and universities throughout the early 20th century. As the volume suggests, many Shakespeare gardens would be separated by species or flower mentioned in particular plays accompanied by busts of the playwright and appropriate quotations painted onto signs.
